Dangerfield is what the Pilgrims called Truro, on Cape Cod. It's a good name for this narrow land off the Massachusetts coast that sticks out into the stormy Atlantic Ocean.

Miles and Miles of sandbars lie along the outer shore and reach out into the sea. They are hidden by shallow water. They have caused hundreds of vessels of all kinds and sizes to be wrecked on them.
